It seemed impossible to find a house that did not cost too much. In the end, Hannah and Don got a chance to build their own house. They filled it with personal decor in white and black, filled with flea market finds and green plants.

The shoe storage in the hall consists of an army box on wheels to facilitate cleaning. The future sleeping loft is located above the closets. The rocking horse is a flea market find.

The geranium is beautiful even without flowers. The ladder, which has been washed and painted, originally came from a nearby farm scrap yard. The army water bottles are covered with cloth. Bottles and vases are from the flea market.

The base of the kitchen is high gloss black and white. The carpet is an heirloom.

Living room and kitchen are separated by a wall with, among other things, fridge and freezer. The medicine bag is an inheritance from Hannah's grandfather.

The pressed glass used as a pot is actually a lampshade.

All shelves in the kitchen are made of old pallets used in shop fittings. They have been cut and fitted with cast iron brackets. Jars, glasses and coffee cups, from flea markets.

The living room has an open floor plan to the dining area. The coffee table is an army box. The sofa was bought at auction. The family built the TV bench themselves from recycled material.

Open shelves provide the opportunity to quickly change the interior and green plants give it life. The simple metal shelf has been painted matte black. The stool is a flea market find.

The white painted bedroom is romantic with the bed's crocheted bedspread. The headboard is a container find. Suitcases are from flea markets.

Ameena's room is a lovely color bomb with fabrics.

Hannah and Don have painted and set up old apple boxes that are now used for storing toys.

The shower curtain has been sewn by Hannah and Don themselves from a window curtain.

Water is the lifeblood of Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota. The cool, clear waters of Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan and Sand Point Lakes cover forty percent of the park. The lakes and rivers were the transportation corridors for the park's namesake, the voyageurs, and they are the basis for recreation in the park today. Visitors find it easy to imagine the voyageurs and Native Americans of the past dipping their canoe paddles to the rhythm of their songs, gliding past the rocks and pines of this gorgeous northern landscape.

The Spirit of Gneeze Lives on

Chapter 8-5 “The spirit of Gneeze lives on”

 Elle undisguises herself as a fruit vendor. Elle and Woody concoct a plan for the meeting. The Captain escorts Woody and Elle in. He says “They aren’t in a good mood. They are just under a lot of stress right now”. Captain gives them a heads up not to mention his nephew.

As they walk into the room, theres a table with 4 members of the council sitting at it.

“We really appreciate this meeting. We have a lot to discuss”- Woody

One of the council members asks about Gar.

“We have brought evidence of Ambose’s innocence”- Woody

Corrin tells his story. Ambrose had gathered up people to go to Uhrun who were victims of a monster attack. Over a course of a number of days, he returned and saw Ambrose had been acting different, actively trying to conquer uhrun. He described a man who gave him orders and that man was Aleister Baste.

 “How would we be able to prove the innocence of Ambrose to the Lord of the North?”

 “The Lord of the North may be my dad”.

“I will personally vouch for anyone that Gar vouches for”- Councilman

 Uwu, Melody, and Seymour arrive at the temple. The people in the temple are attractive and making merry. They hear a familiar voice. You hear Gneeze laughing but can’t see him yet. Hes on the staircase on the second floor. We see Gneeze. He says “Guys so happy to see you!”. Gneeze appears to have no inhibitions. His tattoo glows. Uwu drinks the wine. 6 temporary hit pts. 8 temporary hit pts for Melody for drinking wine.

Gneeze explains that someone told him to have a good time and here he is now.

Gneeze can not explain what the guy looked like.

The captain called Elle and let her know that everyone drank wine which is real fucking weird but Seymour did not. Melody and UwU drank it and it seems fine...probably. POLITICS, war looming at the kingdoms, drinking at the whorehouse/church. just another day in the life of valid sex workers epescially to the god of fuck. Seymour wants to be a good helmites. UwU trying to break relationships while Seymour is staying on task. No baby throwing is allowed, so UwU says do it anyway. Baby bombs are Seymours fear. Uwu persuades Gneeze outside saying the party is outside and itll be fun out there. They go outside and try to do it in a discreet way. They take him into a side room and close the doors. Consent is needed by blinking for party safety. Lock the door and Uwu is convincing Gneeze that party is close by. Gneeze wants Elle to grab the party animal, Billberg. She has no money and wasted all her teleports, per UwU's story. UwU starts seducing Gneeze and tells her that she needs blindfolded first for some kinky shit. Gneeze wants them to watch. He says the Captain should take notes and Seymour is growing a deeper bond with her. While Gneeze is blindfolded and sedcuded, the Captain takes out his sword and bonks his head. Gneeze is then knocked out. Captain surveys and finds no weird behavior. Well as weird as behavior for a sex church. The Captain asks what led them here. It was Bast but for what reason? Maybe to toy around with Seymours emotions. The Captain is concerned but who can really tell what this mastermind is up too. The Captain suggests leaving because there doesnt seem to be a trap. Pizza politics, most importat politics. (Woodrow and Elle chilling). Seymour is debating on what to do. Currently, not sure if Bast is using him as a camera to spy on them. The Captian suggests leavig with Gneeze because Bast was lookig for Korrin, it has already happened so whats the point of keeping Gneeze then. Deciding what is the connection between the Tabaxi/Lionen and Bast.Elle is being filled in via sex phone. We decide to all meet up and figure out what to do. Seymour checks if hes pregante just to be on the safe side using Divine Sense. He is not evil but fiend touched considering his patron.

Elle notices that they someone is tailing her, Woodrow, and Korrin. They are being very stealthy around 60 feet back following smoothly. I notice a red skined HObgobli with red hair keeping pace with us. Studded armour with a pendant and has a overcoat. Elle whispers to Woody and Korrin what is happening. I tell the Captain and he says to meet them there still. Keep on pace and head to the temple ASAP. Woodrow has lead us to nowhere, we currently got lost. Elle tries to figure it out but she is also confused on where they are. Woodrow is keeping an eye on the hobgobli who is now just standing watching us. I message the Captain using his amazing skills (not just in bed), we find out way to the temple. We have arrived. He is still watching us from 60 feet back. Woodrow tries to bribe but money isnt always the answer. We go to the room the rest of the group is in and hope for the best. We recapped how the meeting went. Elle is salty about her life being outed. Couldve been worse, couldve been better. Woodrow and Elle both look through the window for the hobgoblin but he is nowhere to be seen. Seymours plan is to go out and look for anyone he reconginzes and see if he can reason with them. If not, then its gonna be a brawl. Gneeze used to be portable which made things so much easier. Elle works off Woodrows plan of going out in numbers. We use everyone as a Pentagon of Protection to stop anybody who can rush us. Melody, and UwU will be our shields on the side because they dont have tattoos. Seymour in the back because he is less stealthy and does not have a tattoo.the Captain is our shield in the front with Korrin. Him having status might get us through the crowd faster. Elle, Woodrow, and Gneeze will be in the middle rushing it with the supportive help of the dog. We need to get to the Mages Guild because they send their representative. We inact our plan and see no change so far. Halfway through, we see a man kind of rushing us with a plate of skews and runs into Korrin. The skewer burns/cuts Korrin. He begs for forgiveness and we wave it off but we are all skeptical of this random encounter. It turs out to be nothing. Woodrow gives him somethig to to clean it and wrap it. Seymour tried to make sure no one was behind us as we left. He looks behind. There is a an orc gagged and a Halfing getting on top. We keep going.

FAst forward, we are at the Mages Guild with no incident. We need to Romanstanos room for assistance. The counsel has not yet summoned us again. We find him chilling out in his pool. We ask for his help with still knocked out Gneeze. He tells us that the tattoo has removed her inhabitions, something we were sure of. We are pretty sure she is relasing her inhabitions, something very UnWritten about it. She is feeling the rain on ski. We now exit Gneezes music video in her head. Romatato offers to dispel the effect. Tattoo continues to glow. Tries again, nothing. Keeps trying with increasing power. After using a 9th level spell, it finally stops glowing. Woodrow offers pizza for his trouble. Gneeze it still knocked out. We check if Gneeze is pregnant again. NOthing there. Woodrow and UwU both check and Romantsao confirming that there are no babies. Gneeze finally starts to wake up and asks where his Hammer is. Curretly unsafe i the destroyed hotel room. HE tries to leave to get it anyway but he is too weak to fight us physically on it. The Captain will handle restoring the room and send people to go check it out. Elle recieves a message from her father about how weve been busy and how he could have been wrong about Ambrose. Said that we will talk so. We are being requested back to the council chambers and we decide to make our way there. Romanstano and Melody stay back to watch Gneeze while the rest of us head there with an extra pizza. Elle hears heated words from the chambers of the council. I regonize is as Calderos. Elle sneakily listens in. He finds it disgraceful to do something for the "pointy ears". Racist bitch. Elles father tells him he is lucky he has a army or he would handle it himself. I give the team the summarized version. I threaten to my pointy ears up Calderos ass if he keeps being racist. I hear footsteps heading to the door, they do not sound happy. The doors fling open and royal guard flank the doors. My father beckons me over and asks if Im really trying to help people like Calderos. He says he is being accused of lying. He asks if thats why I asked if we could cross the border. I take some creative liberties. I told him he should trust me because "You wanted me to take over the buisness. I have the skills to pay the motherfucking bills". He leaves in dissapointment but what do you expect. As we wait. I let them know that itll be a problem later but we have other things to worry about right now. The Tempest knights come in to stand guard. A elven man in fine gold with a headcovering. Very nice clothes. Woodrow and I try to recongize him. Woodrow recongizes him. He ran across him before in Oureen. He was a part of the Children of Erui Grath. We saw him during a public council meeting. He hopes it was cool and Woodrow found it arousing. His name is Faling Vouse (get correct spelling later). He regonizes up from our adventures in Coopers Crossig and Ourren and Ourun. Woodrow and him chit chat about said adventures, where we have met his people before and what we are doing here. New guy thinks we are cool and have good goals so thats cool. He mentions his group comes dow to help with experice and advice, which helps because of their long life spans. Wearing the masks help them keep their indenities out of is so anyone can feel included. He inivites us to dinner for story exhanging. We all go in while they bring in Korrin.

Vouse peaces out because they council can listen to him tommorow. Korrin asks Woody if it is supposed to be buring still. Woody dectes magic and sees something on him. Something is different and it is very bad. We are pushed into the room before we can get more info. All the council members are there ow istead of the few numbers. I notice the Captain in the pews and  hurry and sex phone the Captain to tell him the situatio with KOrrin and to get someone on it like Luna or Romanstano.  Unseen human councilor calls us out on our bad time management skills. Flamoyant with makeup. Mordecai Rossi. Hes a rude bitch and racist. Said he doesnt care about Woodrows dead brother when he brings it up. Woodrow copies ad pastes our previous argumet. He says he actually does like the elven men (wink wink). Arlinoius (spell right later) just tells us where he stands already. Elle compels a case to be a diplomat for both sides bevause I dont believe anyone wants war. Evangaline the elf says it might be too late considering because there are strings being pulled at every which way. Elle argues that the tattoos are pure domination and their actios cannot be held accoutable. We have to argue whether or not people can still be held responsible. We go back and forth on since no one can really say whether he was dominated in that exact in that point in time. They bring up Alabast's masters appearece. We dont recongize it. Elle again tries to reason to let her be a dipolmat. Elle makes a sexy speech and WE ARE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIENDS and that I have evidence and a group willing to support. The Captain says we need to have a vote. Woodrow says Ambrose should have a chance to stand trial and we have the rings for protection. The vote beings, we are all sweating. Its 4 to 2 and 1 abstain with Captain as tie breaker. But if I talk to my father and it works, the King will change his vote. Elle feels empowered sexy. THe Captain has a sexy long slayer. We go to check on Korrin. One of the guards is missig and so is Korrin. Everything is bad. We found Helm tossed out of carriage but we lost its track. I message the Captain to let him know. It was down South. This is not bueno. Woodrow will go back and grab Melody and Gneeze and needs Romatato to scry. Elle will need to go have that dinner with her father. UwU wants to join in on the family trouble bt Ill beat her ass so she goes with Seymour.

Woodrow runs past Luna as she wishes him luck. Romastato is chilling and asks for Skrying please. Says he is not out of town but it seems like he is in a rocky wooden area? Woodrow remembers he has some old clothing of his i his bag of holding. He gives Woodrow something to help lead us to him. Itll be a straight line to where he was at. Use money for a carriage Uber. Elle is tired of running. I am ushered into main lobby area. Father joins me and I let him know I am speaking on behalf of peace and diplmacy. He states he doesnt want war but he just cant stand by while it all happens. I state I understand and I see how they are racist but you cant say one bad apple speaks for the whole lot. He asks if I want a trial, I state on how we will have a to agree to whatever the verdict is. One judge he appoints, one they appoint, and a neutral third party. He wants Gar as a neutral third party but is wiling to talk about it later. Diplomatic apple was given. Uwu and Seymour are following the tracks. Someone inquires they are looking for someone. Uwu pays him gold for informatio on th cart. States he saw a cart of Orcs. He points to where he saw them go. HEads to the rich part of town and we all meet up.
